SOMERVILLE, Mass.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--SmartBear
Software, the leader in software quality tools for teams, announced
that SwaggerHub,
the integrated API development platform, has developed an integration
with IBM
Cloud allowing development teams working with SwaggerHub to deploy
APIs directly to IBM
Bluemix with minimal configurations. The integration is being
demonstrated at IBM
Interconnect, taking place on March 19th – March 23rd, 2017 in Las
Vegas, Nevada.

“Organizations are rapidly adopting SwaggerHub to design, document and
develop their APIs.”

APIs have changed the business ecosystem and have become important
drivers of strategic and technological goals. Developers are
increasingly looking to work with APIs in a dedicated platform, while
flexibly tying into an organization’s external toolsets and avoiding the
constraints of vendor lockdown. To facilitate this need, SmartBear has
introduced a direct SwaggerHub integration with IBM Cloud that allows
developers to effectively manage and deploy Swagger-based APIs on their IBM
API Connect instance on Bluemix, IBM’s cloud platform, without
tedious and manual configurations.

Built for development teams, SwaggerHub combines the power of the open
source Swagger
tools with advanced features to build, document and deploy APIs.
SwaggerHub offers a collaborative API development environment in a
centralized platform to orchestrate various operations of the API
lifecycle.

“Organizations are rapidly adopting SwaggerHub to design, document and
develop their APIs.” said Tony
Tam, Vice President of Swagger Products at SmartBear. “The new
integration with IBM Bluemix helps developers easily develop and deploy
their Swagger-based APIs to the IBM API Connect instance on the IBM
Bluemix cloud platform, ensuring the definition of Bluemix is always
up-to-date based on the design in SwaggerHub.”

Bluemix, IBM’s cloud platform, has grown rapidly to become one of the
largest open, public cloud deployments in the world. Based in open
standards, it features over 150 advanced technologies and services,
including cognitive computing, blockchain, Internet of Things, cloud
data services, DevOps, security and integration. IBM API Connect in
Bluemix offers a native API management experience, to create, run,
manage and secure APIs. Using the new SwaggerHub integration with IBM
Bluemix, users can design and document APIs and seamlessly deploy onto
API Connect in Bluemix.

The IBM Cloud integration is the latest in SwaggerHub’s suite
of integrations with external API Management platforms like AWS API
Gateway and Microsoft Azure. By offering various third-party
integrations, SmartBear gives development teams the flexibility to work
with their cloud provider of choice while orchestrating their API
lifecycle directly from SwaggerHub. For more information about the
